Chapter 218: A Day of Great Joy
Ling Fan, upon hearing this, touched his nose and teased, "So this time it's genuine affection, right?"
Ding Wanchang laughed awkwardly, "I still have to thank Young Master Ling for his great kindness, otherwise my life in the second half would really be unbearable!"
Last time, after Ling Fan had given him the information about Luo Juan and dealt with Du Shiwei, he hurried to investigate and search for Luo Juan.
He had never dreamt that Luo Juan was living in Qingshui City, not far from Binhai, and her son, surnamed Luo after her, was named Luo Wenkang.
After he found Luo Juan, she was extremely surprised, but how could she easily forgive him!
However, Ding Wanchang also understood that Luo Juan's reason for living in a city near Binhai was that she hadn't given up on her old feelings and wanted to be close to him!
With this guess, he was quite relieved and stubbornly knelt in front of Luo Juan's door for three days and three nights, finally managing to move her a bit. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
He then struck while the iron was hot, made a strong display of repentance, and even offered to transfer all his assets under her name, finally touching Luo Juan and gaining her forgiveness!
It also turned out that he had made a name for himself, and later Luo Juan inadvertently saw in the newspaper that he was recognized by the government as an outstanding entrepreneur; it was then that she realized Ding Wanchang had turned over a new leaf and become a good man.
At that time, Luo Juan was living in hardship with her son and was considering looking for him, but just when she learned that the fellow had established a new family, she gave up on the idea, settled down in nearby Qingshui City, and managed to raise her son all by herself.
Upon learning the truth, Ding Wanchang furiously slapped his own face in regret—he hadn't been aware at the time, and if it weren't for Ling Fan, he probably never would have found out about this mother and son, nor would he have known that he abandoned his own son to raise another man's child!
Thus, the kindness Ling Fan had shown him was truly greater than mountains, deeper than the sea, and he probably wouldn't be able to repay it in this lifetime!
"Hehe, congratulations on reconciling. Make sure to make it up to them from now on. I'll be coming over tomorrow," Ling Fan said with a smile.
Seeing that Ling Fan had agreed to come, Ding Wanchang was overjoyed and excited, "Don't worry, I will devote my life to making it up to them!"
"Ah, thinking about it, I've really lived like a dog for most of my life, so ashamed!" Ding Wanchang said again with a touch of remorse.
"Hey, who hasn't made mistakes? What's your son's name again?" Ling Fan offered some comfort.
"Oh, Luo Wenkang. He has always been surnamed after his mother, Luo Juan. But Luo Juan said after they get married, she will change the surname, and from then on, he will be called Ding Wenkang!" Ding Wanchang said this with a smile, like a child.
Yun Fei and others also revealed amused smiles on the side—older people tend to become more childlike.
After exchanging pleasantries with Ding Wanchang, who had many friends to attend to at the wedding and it wasn't good to linger and impose, he said goodbye to Ling Fan and Yun Fei and left.
Ling Fan, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, didn't want to do anything today but to have a good rest. Thinking about the joyous moments with the three women last night, he felt boundlessly tender.
Only, each of the women was busy studying the Cultivation Technique he had taught them, and Ling Fan was pondering who to be with tonight!
Yao Yue was still injured and definitely wouldn't be able to tonight, and Li Mengying was still lying in bed unable to get up, so he didn't have the heart to bother her anymore!
"Looks like tonight I can only look for Yun Fei," Ling Fan said with a smirk.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him for the time being, he took an Elixir and started cultivating as well.
Night fell, and the moon was full over Moonview Tower.
Ling Fan opened his eyes from his cultivation, feeling invigorated. Looking outside, the sky was clear with a sparse array of stars; such an alluring night!
He got up at once, spreading his Divine Sense, discovering that everyone was shut in their rooms, engrossed in cultivation. He chuckled to himself and first slipped into Li Mengying's room.
Li Mengying was sitting on the bed, quietly cultivating the Dharma Gate according to Ling Fan's earlier instructions. With the aid of the Elixir, she had already sensed the energy and was happily engrossed in her practice.
Seeing Ling Fan come in, she stopped cultivating at once and said cheerfully, "Husband, you're here! I've already felt the energy!"
"Hehe, congratulations, congratulations. Cultivation is not urgent; a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold..." Ling Fan said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Li Mengying's face turned red, and she shyly lowered her head, the scenes from before still vivid in her mind.
As she was reflecting on herself, suddenly she felt light as a feather and let out a surprised cry as she bumped forcefully into Official Ling's chest...
Early next morning, Ling Fan got out of bed, dressed himself, and said to the languid Yun Fei on the bed, "Ding Wanchang's son is getting married. Do you want to come with me?"
Yun Fei was lying in bed, completely relaxed as though disassembled, and she complained grumpily, "You deadbeat, let's see if I can even get up!"
She moved her body a bit, and surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
Then she got out of bed and changed into a red, Bohemian-style backless long dress. With her hair styled high, and wearing small sheepskin high heels, she was chic and elegant. After undergoing the Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow, her skin was radiant and smooth like jade, and she looked even more attractive.
The two of them went to the living room to find it empty, guessing the others were still not up.
"Don't disturb them; let's leave first," Ling Fan said.
They got into the BMW 5 Series, with Ling Fan taking the wheel and driving Yun Fei following the address on the invitation directly to Moonview Tower in Binhai Bay.
Moonview Tower, one of Ding Wanchang's own properties and one of the famous hotels in Binzhou, is located by Binhai Bay on the side of a lake. It is surrounded by a lake with a pleasant view.
Today, luxury cars packed the front of Moonview Tower and high-profile guests filled the venue—all business associates of Ding Wanchang and friends of his son Ding Wenkang.
Ding Wanchang greeted every guest with enthusiasm, his face blossoming with a smile that came from deep within his heart.
Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of him, and a bald man got out of the car. Upon recognizing the newcomer, Ding Wanchang's expression slightly changed!
